   I have accused the Dalai Lama of selling out when   
   he declared that if science and Buddhism differ,   
   Buddhism should follow science. To me, if a   
   spiritual teaching works, it works in disregard   
   to its ontological status, be it real or unreal,   
   true or untrue, or whatever else. Mental culture   
   is perpendicular to the world.

   seek the Way lose every day. Red Pine DDJ 48.
